[QUOTE="WhereDoIWorkAgain, post: 1187378, member: 44948"] Honestly I attend 3 or 4 union meetings a year, but we also typically have about 15 people from each building at the monthlies. The problem is that you have the same half dozen people out of the 30 bringing up the same tired unrealistic thing over and over at the meetings dominating them, while the others ask their two or 3 suggestions /questions and things move along. Our participation seems a bit higher but the union also seems ineffectual at actually changing working conditions, or even getting things brought to managements attention. As a side note I am a former teamster but am not currently in a union position so I have seen some of both sides. What the union seems strong on is keeping marginal employees in their jobs, and negotiating for more positions which may or may not actually come to be. [/QUOTE]
